If I decide to keep a daily log, I'll create a new page like this one for each new day. I'll make sure to change the title and update the "most recent posting" link on the home page each time.

Today I became the proud owner of my own journey to health webpage. I started this journey on October 11,2001, with over 100 pounds to lose, during the past few months I have searched the web and browsed many websites about others who were also trying to lose weight and gain thier sanity. I have been on every diet known to man and beast and finally came to the realization that I am who I am and stopped dieting about 2 years ago..(hell they never worked a anyway). One Sat morning this past fall I was watching tv and an infomercial was on called, "Michael Thurmond's six week makeover". They guaranteed 30 pounds off in six weeks or your money back...so I decided to order the program with two thoughts in mind... If it doesnt work I will get my money back and I might as well try for all I have to lose is weight.I also decided that I would give it my best. If it didn't work, I would never attempt again. With all that in mind, I took the first step to a healthier me..It has been 15 weeks and I have shed 57 pounds. The program really works and basically I eat six meals a day. The purpose for this diary is to hold myself accountable as well as to hopefully inspire those that are in the boat I once was. It seemed like such a monumental task to undertake, loosing over 100 pounds without surgery or pills... The first few days were rough, but over time it has become my way of life. The program is three faceted. 1. Eat six small meals a day customized for you and drink 100 ounces of water daily 2.Exercise in moderation..I walk 4 miles a day three times a week 3. Sculpting bands..or in other words resistant exercises for toning twice a week. A simple plan for a very complex person....
